I have just installed widows 11 version 24H2 on a Asus VivoBook.
I cannot get rid of the password login.
I can usually get around this by using netplwiz.
But this time it will not get me into the account area to remove the tic.
I can change the login to a pin instead of the password.
But if I get rid of that it goes back to the password.
What is the latest work around for this ?

This all depends on if you originally signed in with only a local account or a Microsoft account 1st. If its a fresh install, unless you actually bypassed the MS account it tries to insist you have then you will have a MS Account.
Normally you just go into the Account, Your Info, select Sign into Local Account - You'll get warnings etc, then once in the local account just leave the password empty. Other way once in Local Account make a password, then reboot, sign in, the select change password - Leave it blank.
To change the Pin you must 1st have a Password installed.

I'll just give this thread another tug.
When I go to user accounts, via run/netplwiz
There is no "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
Why would that be ?

I think its not there if you are using a local account with no password (mines the same)
